Monday, 30 August 2021 (YJC)_ The Israeli MP said that the West Asian region is different now than it was ten years ago, adding that US talk about Iran is not enough and that Washington must show a credible threat to Tehran over the nuclear issue.
At the same time as Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett met with US President Joe Biden to focus on Iran, members of parliament (the Knesset) called for Washington to threaten Tehran.
Zvi Hauser, chair of the Knesset's military and foreign affairs committee, said in a radio interview Sunday evening: Overall, the meeting [Bennett and Biden] was great. 48 hours have passed and we still do not see the second wave of reactions, which is a very good sign. It should be noted that what is said in secret is very important.
Describing the US statement on Iran and its nuclear program as important, Hauser said: But it is not enough to just talk, there must be a credible US threat to counter Iran's militancy over the nuclear issue. In my opinion, this is a necessary chance for any diplomatic chance [with Iran].
